RESPEC is hiring a BI Developer to support a public sector partner by administering, developing, and maintaining reporting and analytics solutions. This role is hands-on and highly technical, with a strong focus on Google Looker (LookML) and SQL Server. You’ll work across data marts, dashboards, and reports—validating data quality, implementing business rules, and training both technical and non-technical users.

This is a great fit for someone who can move between business needs and technical execution, enjoys troubleshooting, and can work independently while collaborating closely with SMEs and stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Administer, develop, and maintain Google Looker:
    • User administration, models, dashboards, user attributes
    • LookML development, dashboard design, visualizations
    • Build simple/complex Looks, merge queries, and tune performance
  • Create and maintain SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports.
  • Develop and maintain SQL Server objects and logic:
    • T-SQL, views, CTEs, functions, stored procedures
    • SQL processes/scripts to move and transform data between data marts
  • Perform data analysis and validation:
    • Analyze data for quality/completeness
    • Validate data marts and dashboards against source systems
    • Implement and document business rules and processes
    • Create and execute test cases for data and reporting requirements
  • Troubleshoot data, dashboards, and reporting issues; respond to investigation requests.
  • Elicit and document requirements for data marts, dashboards, and reporting.
  • Create technical and end-user documentation; train users on Looker capabilities and best practices.
  • Apply appropriate handling of sensitive data, including recognizing and masking PII.
  • Take on team leadership activities as needed (mentoring, task assignment, code reviews, prioritization).
  • Strong SQL Server skills: SQL/T-SQL, views, CTEs, functions, stored procedures.
  • Strong Google Looker experience, including:
    • LookML modeling
    • Tool administration and user attributes
    • Dashboard design and correct visualization selection
    • Merge queries and performance tuning
    • Ability to train both technical and non-technical users
  • Experience creating and maintaining SSRS reports.
  • Strong data analysis skills (business rules, validation, testing, data completeness).
  • Proven troubleshooting and root-cause analysis ability.
  • Excellent communication skills—able to translate business needs into technical requirements and explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Detail-oriented, self-directed, quick to learn new systems, and team-oriented.

Nice to Have

  • Experience assisting with data mart design and data validation frameworks.
  • Prior lead/mentor experience in BI or analytics teams.

What Success Looks Like

  • Reliable, accurate dashboards and reports that reconcile to source data.
  • Well-structured Looker models and dashboards that perform efficiently and are easy for users to navigate.
  • Clear documentation and effective training that increases adoption and reduces support burden.
  • Consistent, secure handling of sensitive data (PII) across reports and analytics products.
